John Nash, has built a
new life in the Maryland frontier, and journeys back to England to see his
father before the first shots of the Revolution are fired. Rebecah, a young
woman who has known little more than the solitude of an isolated manor has lost
her father and is now under the control of a domineering patriarch. As their
romance unfolds, they become trapped in the schemes of her uncle and immersed
in one of the most infamous Indian wars in Colonial history. As the firebrands of Revolution grow hot, they marry and work together to build their estate, Laurel Hill. Facing a strange new world, Rebecah experiences the prejudice of being English, but finds friendship and acceptance in the wilds of the Maryland frontier. Joy reins at Laurel Hill when she announces she is carrying a child. Nash, known as Jack, is captain of a band of rangers who protect the frontier families from Indian attack. His friendship with Chief Logan has not prevented the Indian War from reaching their peaceful home along the lush hills of the last outpost.
Can he protect his wife from warring Indians and from a man who has no allegiance to any nation, tribe, or creed, wanted for robbery and murder, who has vowed vengeance? In Thorns in Eden and The Everlasting Mountains, love and faith are the sustaining forces that cannot be overtaken by the vines of adversity.
